Applications
Low-absorption materials encompass a wide swath of materials science, highlighting a variety of sectors where the Exciscope Polaris can improve contrast and image quality. These applications include: polymers, composites, and other carbon-based materials like carbon fiber as well as the growing field of additive manufacturing using these materials. This enables non-destructive testing with high detail of materials used for lightweight constructions. In this example, we have imaged the interior microstructures in the carbon-fiber composite shaft of a golf club. The images show clearly the material design, fiber orientations and internal voids.

Many of today’s products are composites of a variety of different material components. One example is a wireless ear pod where polymers, semiconductors, and metals all play a key role in its operation. Though the Exciscope Polaris specializes in imaging low-z materials, the system is versatile enough to image these complicated products with metallic components.
